Construct a Probability Distribution then find a conclusion
Solutions:
𝑥 𝑃(𝑥) 𝑥𝑃(𝑥) 𝑥−𝜇 (𝑥 − 𝜇)2 (𝑥 − 𝜇)2
∗ 𝑃(𝑥)
0 0.40 0 -1.40 1.96 0.784
1 0.15 0.15 -0.40 0.16 0.024
2 0.20 0.40 0.60 0.36 0.072
3 0.15 0.45 1.60 2.56 0.384
4 0.10 0.40 2.60 6.76 0.676
𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 = 1.4 𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒

𝑠𝑑 = 1.39

𝜇 = ∑ 𝑥𝑃(𝑥)

𝜇 = 0 ∗ 0.40 + 1 ∗ 0.15 + 2 ∗ 0.20 + 3 ∗ 0.15 + 4 ∗ 0.10

𝜇 = 1.4

𝜎 2 = ∑(𝑥 − 𝜇)2 ∗ 𝑃(𝑥)

𝜎 2 = 0.784 + 0.024 + 0.072 + 0.384 + 0.676

𝜎 2 = 1.94

√𝜎 2 = √1.94

𝜎 = 1.39
Conclusion:
The expected value/mean is 1.4. The laboratory supervisor would, on the average,
expect to report on-the-job training accidents 1.4 per month. The value 1.4 is the long-
term average or expected value if the laboratory supervisor investigates on-the-job
training accidents month after month. With a variance of 1.94, almost 2, we can conclude
that the number of reported accidents is somewhat spread out from the mean. Meaning,
1.94 measures the average degree to which each accident report differs (away) from the
expected value, 1.4. Moreover, a 1.39 standard deviation (above the mean) means that
the event of on-the-job training accidents has dispersed data points.
